mango Archives - Eat at Home

There’s something about the warm weather that suddenly makes me feel like I’m living on some gorgeous, tropical island. As soon as summer hits, Caribbean-inspired meals end up making it into our dinner rotation a lot more often. Usually, this means lots of grilling – but some days the convenience of the slow cooker just wins out.

This dish is inspired by a lunch we had on vacation in Honduras a few years ago. The combo of spicy jerk chicken paired with the cool cucumber mango salsa is perfect for summer. And, it couldn’t be easier. The chicken can be prepped in about five minutes before I walk out the door for work and the salsa only takes another ten minutes or so when I get home – which means more time to get outside and enjoy the summer sun!

I love recipes that combine fruit with chicken. It’s a combo that just works. And this Mango Chicken from Erin, of One Dish Dinners and $5 Dinners, looks fantastic.

Plus, it cooks in the slow cooker. Always a bonus, but especially on hot summer days. Erin used boneless chicken thighs, zucchini, tomatoes and mango along with seasonings. She also has a handy tip on how to cut a mango.

Erin served this with buttered toast. I love a simple side dish! Pop over to One Dish Dinners to get the recipe.
